Mauritius BY YVES DE CONTADES is an exciting country that provides
everything a discerning traveller looks for in a holiday destination. It has a rich multicultural heritage, superb beaches, a multitude of places to
explore and a wonderful tradition of hospitality, fine food and wine.
The Air Mauritius flight from Heathrow Terminal 4 takes twelve hours and you fly over night, which means you leave in the evening and sleep till you arrive at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. From there it is a speedy ten minute drive to the Shandrani Resort and Spa, a lovely hotel occupying a picturesque peninsula jutting out into the sun drenched Indian Ocean.
It is pretty much like your own private island, right by the Blue Bay Marine Park known for its abundant sea life and coral. The Shandrani actually started out as a very small smallboutique hotel with only a few rooms in the 70’s and was carefully and slowly developed over the intervening decades to the resort it is now. This gradual evolution means that it has retained the original and natural tropical surroundings that contribute so much to its appeal. The grounds also contain a large golf course, multiple immaculate tennis courts and a whole host of sea and land activities with which to keep the whole family happily entertained. The resort is justly proud of its landscaped gardens which are immaculately laid out, with many different areas cascading with wildflowers and blooming bushes of magnificent beauty. The whole resort exudes a feeling of peace and inner contentment.
